Jeremiah 17:7-8

Tag: Let go and let God

Let. Go.

Daughter, let go.

Give me

What wakes you in the middle of the night.

Give me

What robs you of peace.

Give me

What you can’t figure out,

What you can’t see.

Give me

What you don’t understand.

When you give,

I will help.

I won’t help when you clutch

Your gifts,

Your prospects,

Your plans,

Your desires,

Your dreams.

Daughter, let go of them.

Trust me with them.

I will make them

Bigger,

Better,

Fruitful,

Beautiful,

More than you have dreamt.

But I can only do it

If you let go.

I won’t pry your fingers.

You must let

Go.

See Proverbs 16:9; Isaiah 43:16-19; Zechariah 4:6-7; Matthew 11:28-30; John 14:12-14; Ephesians 3:20; 1 Peter 5:7

These links share just a glimpse of the story God is telling us. When you have time, read a chapter or two around the verses to get the context and see the whole picture. My preferred Bible translation is the New Living Translation, so all links will be in that version.

Let go

Listen to this week’s word

Daughter, let go of what they think, what they want.

Let go of thinking you have to prove yourself.

You’ve shown yourself to me,

And that’s enough.

There is no one else who needs to see you like I do.

I am enough, daughter.

My love is enough.

My grace is enough.

Keep me close.

Keep my promises close.

Cling to them and let go of your plans.

Don’t turn to the world’s solutions.

They won’t work.

Daughter, you have me and my word.

There is nothing else you need to do my will.

Come to me with hands open.

Come to me ready to fill them with what I have for you.

The world will try to fill them, try to fix them to work more and harder.

You don’t need that.

No, all you need is me, for everything.

I am your provider. I am the one who loves you deeply, wholly.

See Exodus 3-11; Deuteronomy 8; Psalm 18; Proverbs 16:1, 16:9, 16:20, 19:21, 21:30-31
